to the "huffington pos post". many of them insignificant measures like naming post offices. speaker john boehner's congress is about to take the prize for inaction. this is not a bipartisan problem. as stated by both liberal and conservative analysts, "we have been studying washington politics and congress for more than 40 years, and never have we seen them this dysfunctional in our past writerings. we have criticized both parties when we believed it was warranted. today, however, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies with the republican party." let's not forget that this was also the year that senator mitch mcconnell filibustered his own bill, an act that drew the utter consternation of senator dick durbin. >> so this may be a moment in senate history, when a senator made a proposal, and when given an opportunity for a vote on that proposal, filibustered his own proposal. i think we've now reached a new spot in the history of the senate we've never seen before. i'm going to ask the parliamentary to really look into this. i don't think this has ever happened befo

. [applause] >> good morning. speaker, leaders reid and mcconnell. today when congress bestows the congressional gold medal on arnold palmer, we will be honoring a living legend. he is an icon of american sports and a success in all of his endeavors. a humanitarian, businessman, philanthropist. he personifies the american dream, the idea that anyone can travel as far as their talent will carry them. we think him for his service in the coast guard, for protecting that american dream for all americans. born to humble beginnings and raised in latrobe, pennsylvania, arnold rose from blue-collar roots to becoming the king, the king of golf. as king of golf, he raised up arnold's army. he always demonstrated etiquette, courtesy and friendship to fans and competitors alike. as arnie's army followed him on the course, he taught everyone about perseverance and discipline. he taught us that you can be six strokes ahead, and still lose. but you can be strikes -- six strokes behind and still win. as he said, he always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me, i ne

to be hammered out. he thinks republican leaders need to bend. >> congress has not been able to get this stuff done not because democrats in congress don't want to go ahead and cooperate but because i think it's been very hard for speaker boehner and republican leader mcconnell to accept the fact that taxes on the wealthiest americans should go up a little bit and as part of an overall deficit reduction package. >> i'm joined by congresswoman barbara lee a democrat from california. good to see you. good morning. >> good to see you. glad to be with you. >> let me give you the republican perspective. it is that some indications they are willing to give on taxes whether 400 or 450,000, that yesterday they floated this idea of changing social security. they've backed off on that. they apparently are willing to give on some of these estate taxes. the democrats are willing to give on some of the estate taxes. but what the republicans want is they say that this deal that's being offered looks like it actually puts us further in the hole. it's actually costing us more than it's saving us. tell us what

like exhausting every avenue. >> and the speaker's question, do we have to fight about everything? and the abs to that is yes, we do. the two parties are in a state of permanent warfare. the margins are reasonably narrow in the congress. and the margins in presidential races are narrow. the president won decisively but only by three percentage points. i think it's important not to exaggerate the acrow moany that we see in -- acrimony. it took us a long time to do the right thing in civil rights legislation. but we are seeing the perfection if i could use that term of the ways in which the two pears have become polarized in ways that overlap ideology, region and partisan and so the walls are getting thicker and thicker. and buzz of that it trickles down to the state level. and the gerrymandering that we see that reinforces the strength of people in particular pockets in the country means that most members now fear a primary challenge more than they fear a general election challenge and that gives all the incentives for ideolo gs to push -- gwen: is it fair to say that either side i

speaker john boehner can get members of his congress to go along with the deal. joining me now perry bacon and lynn sweet. i want to start with you because i read something that you wrote an article recently in which you said basically that the rumors of the tea party's demise have been greatly exaggerated noting their key role in refusing to go along with john boehner's tax plan to raise taxes on those making more than $1 million a year. the fiscal cliff debate has illustrated then during influence of the tea party and the power of the conservative party. boehner can't guarantee that his members won't face primary challenges from the right so there's little surprise they won't follow his lead. >> mcconnell's not going agree to something that all other republicans are opposed to because he's a republican, too, and he has to worry about a primary, potentially, as well. the core of this is a lot of people are asking why won't house republicans compromise? the reason is a lot of their districts are highly conservative districts and biggest danger of not being re-elect side a conservative chal

they have an agreement to proceed and we have something that congress, boat houses of congress can move forward with if biden doesn't get too much resistance tonight and speaker boehner agrees to put it on the floor in the coming days. >> let's bring in a democratic senator, jeff merkley of oregon is joining us. you're getting ready to go into this democratic caucus meeting with the vice president, joe biden. what are you hearing right now? are you on board? >> we haven't heard the detail said, but there's three main things we want to nail down. first is fairness to people who versus those who are best off in society. the second is are we looking down the road to another fiscal cliff, such as sequestering or the dent ceiling kicking in a few month from now, and the third piece is is it financially responsible. are we producing a deal that will actually put us on a path to a financially stable future. those three things are the big questions that have been raised today that we have been raising, a number of us, with our elected leaders. they have been working to try to find a path that w

speaker again in the new congress. >> and that's a question as well. let's say the house of representatives tonight or tomorrow morning were to pass the senate bill, but were to attach amendments for more spending cuts. what are the chances the senate would reconvene and deal with it, pass what the house passed and allow the president to sign it into law? >> reporter: well, the senate just adjourned moments ago. harry reid, the senate majority leader, just adjourned until noon tomorrow. so nothing would happen until noon tomorrow. but the senate, the democratic sources are saying that -- and they are being very quiet. they are not answering our obvious question, which is, what would you do if you got something that was amended. they're doing that on purpose. they don't want to sort of rock the boat. they don't want to give any sort of sense of yay or nay to house republicans to give anybody an excuse, basically. so they're being very, very quiet. but knowing the temperature over there, the fact that they feel pretty good about the fact that they passed this with not just

a short answer. this got done last night, 24 hours late but it got done. is congress dysfunctional? >> well, it's a very bumpy messy process. unless the speaker allows votes to happen like he did last night where he doesn't establish this rule that you have to have the majority of republicans in favor of something in the house, then it is going to be really hard to move forward with the people's business. but if the speaker does going forward, what he allowed to happen last night is just allow. it's not the republicans house or the democrats house. let the house vote. more republicans voting for something and fewer democrats. sometimes like last night, two democrats to every republicans voting for it. but the problem is the house republicans and this has been stated by nonpartisan. the house republicans are unwilling to compromise. a lot think compromise is a dirty word. they go back to districts and say they want things 100% their way. when you have divided government, one in control of congress, the only thing that stands in the way of divided government and dysfunctional governm

for congress' performance are different from that which the republicans use. as speaker john boehner has said over and over, the second pass a record low number of those pixel of the congress that were not imposing regulations and not increasing taxes. that's way one of looking on it. the way most people look at it attested to by record low popularity approval rating is that this is a congress that has been defined by dysfunction of the law, a congress in which has never been writer than none and where compromise is really seem to be a foreign-policy, a policy foreign to the roast great deliberative body. >> to think of people who ran in 2010 and got elected with the people who ran before it ended now ascended to of leadership leave no with a solution or they were elected to not do things as opposed to do things? >> again, from the class of 2010 and now i refer to the 87 freshman, the so-called tea party class of the 112 congress, their belief is they are doing precisely what the people who elected them wish to do, which is rollback obama initiatives to cut spending. a lot of them thought the

work that must be done in the coming weeks. now mr. speaker pro tem you and i won't be here for that work to take place. i know you share my view that our colleagues have a unique opportunity as the 113th congress begins its work on noon on thursday to take on this challenge. believe have a unique opportunity because of the fact that there is divided government. because we have the president of one party who regularly talks about the need for this kind of reform and i congratulate him for that. the people's house. the house of constitution has the responsibility of dealing with tax issues this body the other party, mr. speaker. in light of that, i think that since there is a consensus on the need to tackle these issues, it can be done in a bipartisan way. i hope very much i hope very much happen. the way for us to take that first step is to pass that rule bipartisan support. i appreciate the kind words of the ranking members. slaughter upstairs and supporting this effort that we have. and then at the end of the day, once we go into the debate on senate amendment which is wha

is not true and he would never inform leaders in congress we only had five days before we discuss the default. that wouldn't happen in a real world. it wasn't accurate. the speaker told the membership today he thinks it's more like february. charles is right. you get more revenue in, if you go over the cliff. they won't keep that it way. they wouldn't restore tax cuts. combination would be too severe of the spending cuths with all the tax cuts gone. that becomes the enormous fight. you do get up involved in late january or late february with the revenue. it's an enormous fight, amount we raise the debt creeling to amount they cut debt ceiling. a fight that obama should not want to have. it's interesting to me if he doesn't act in the next couple of days with what charles calls a generous deal he gets himself in to really unstable waters, economically. something we have never seen before. then we look at the global waters rattling toward real default, not the january 1 cliff. republicans would be blamed initially but he would be blamed ultimately. >> this argument and is so ethereal with the n
